I recently completed Nolan Ryan's Topps collection with the acquisition of his rookie card, which also completed my 1968 Topps set. What's that annual card show called again? It escapes me at the moment, but I have a 1967 Topps Nolan Ryan card as part of a 5-card set of "Cards that never Were". I just put it in with the rest of my 1967 set.

I knew you'd recognize it and that's why I changed it back. That was my avatar here for the first 3 years. I've changed it a few times in the last 3 months though. I do still have the T206 and it's still in the same toploader and team bag in which you sent it to me.

I finished adding my 30K or so MLB cards a few weeks ago. I started around Halloween, so it took about 3 months of adding cards for a few hours nearly every day. It took less time to add those than my NFL and NASCAR cards combined and there are way less of those two sports than of baseball. It took time to figure out the fastest way and that would be the way I recommended to you.

Hey Spaz it has been a long while. Glad to here you still have the card that you won in the contest I gave.

I am down to 56 well 55 I bought Fritz early this morning. I hope to hit 50 needs by the end of June.

I guess I will enter the ones I have for trade starting with the earliest years I have for trade and work my way up to 2018 from there

I remember the Avatar I recognzed that before I read your user name

WAYNE! How's it going? We haven't spoken in a long while, but I hope you remember me (from Beckett - same name on there). I'm glad you found your way to this site. Your knowledge of the T206's could be a great addition here!!! Plus, I bet you could add some of the missing scans! It's great to see that you have joined the site. I haven't really been on the baseball forums over there in a while but am still very active on that site. I've spent much more time here though.

To everyone else, I am not the one who invited him here (wish I had though), but I do know him. Those who remember my story of my first T206 (and still my oldest card), he's the one I got it from several years ago.

Welcome to the TCDB, Wayne! I hope you enjoy it as much as the rest of us do. It truly is the best card site on the internet! If you are going to add your cards here, my suggestion is to add traders first and by set. You can go to any set and checkmark each card you have to trade to add it to your "Collection". Then go to the top and click the dropdown box to move all "Collection" cards to "For Sale/Trade List". Then you can go back through the checklist and click each card you have that you want to keep. It certainly beats adding cards one-at-a-time to your "Collection", "Wantlist", "For Sale/Trade" lists. Cards you have listed will be highlighted with: Blue = Collection (aka Keeps); Green = Traders; Pink = Wants. That's the best info I can give you to start here. Also, always feel free to post in the forums if you have a question about the site or specific cards. It'll get answered really quick here (usually).

I was going to say I'd like to know who invited you here, but I'm thinking now that I might know who it was. Anyway, feel free to PM me with any questions about this site and I'll be happy to answer them or direct you to who can answer them faster! This place is great and there are a ton of vintage collectors here too.

EDIT: I went back to my original Avatar on here, b/c that was my avatar on Beckett for about a decade.

So were you the one who invited him to come here? That was my guess.

Wayne I'm Glad you made it here! To echo Spaz's comments on Wayne, he is a great trader and collector! We had many great trades back at that "B" site.

As you have heard and I mentioned to you previously there is so much more to do here than on other collecting sites, you can truly enjoy not only your cards, but also help to build up what is the best site out there!

Welcome! Hope to start trading with you again as soon as you are set up!

Welcome to the site. I just recently joined as well after getting back into collecting. I am also a Nolan Ryan collector. Still missing the 68 rookie as well as the 70 & 71 cards to complete the Topps set.
